Odd...I thought there was client side checking (pouring through dozens of
versions of code...). Ah well - I'll see if we can't get something
inserted locally. Here's a reg_exp you can use for IP addresses (this
will only be used for the customer created IP addresses).
Be warned - we check server side, so if we need to change the reg_exp for
any reason we can do it easily and seamlessly. And this is from an older
version of the code, and may require some massaging:
sub ip_syntax {
my $that = shift;
my $ip = shift;
if (length $ip > 15) {
return undef;
} elsif ($ip !~ /^\d+\.\d+\.\d+\.\d+$/) {
return undef;
}
my @parts = split /\./, $ip;
foreach (@parts) {
if ($_ >= 255) {
return undef;
}
}
return 1;
}
